Thou Shalt Not Tailgate
CNN: Vatican issues ten commandments for drivers
Out of touch with reality as usual, the Vatican has issued its official stance regarding the moral use of automobiles. The document is full of weak, sententious 'commandments' that should have already been covered by a driver's manual and plain common sense. Except, of course, for the recommendation that you pray before or while you drive. As if that drunk driver wouldn't have hit you if only you had recited the Lord's Prayer at the stoplight.
So keep your eyes open for people who are DWP: Driving While Pious. They're even more dangerous than cell phone drivers; at least people who drive while on their cell phones are talking to somebody real, not having an imaginary conversation with a man in the sky who they think is magically protecting them.
